Bio

Why did you choose Southwestern?
Because I like the campus and the environment

Who has been the biggest influence on your life and why?
My parents because they've helped me reach my goals and mostly they've been my role models.

List any hobbies.
Surf, hike, bike and travel

What is your career ambition?
I want to become a marine scientist and help protect our oceans and marine species which that eventually will lead to a better life for every organism on the planet. No blue, no green.

Tell me one thing interesting about yourself?
When I was 13 years old I wanted to become a professional tennis player, but at the time I was living at a town where there were no public tennis courts. The only ones available were the ones in hotel resorts. Since my parents could not afford private lessons for me I decided to practice by hitting the ball at my yard's wall. Finally, after 10 years my dream of playing competitive tennis has come true! And I'm very proud to be part of Southwestern College Tennis Team.
